Steps:
- Dissolve the sugar in a medium saucepan with 120ml boiling water. When clear, bring to the boil and place a sugar thermometer in the pan.
- Meanwhile, whisk the yolks with an electric mixer until creamy. When the sugar syrup reaches 120C, remove from the heat at once. Keep the mixer beaters running, drizzle the syrup onto the yolks and beat, on full speed, for 3-5 mins until you have a firm yellow foam. Remove and cool, whisking occasionally. Divide into 3 portions.
- Use a third of this mixture for one mousse recipe, then chill and use the rest within 2 days or freeze in 2 portions for up to 2 months. To use the frozen mixture, thaw for 10-15 mins, then beat lightly until softened.

Steps:
- First, place the granulated sugar in a heavy saucepan. Next, add enough water to just cover the sugar. The sugar should be a wet sand texture. Next, heat the sugar on medium-heat on the stove top. Use an instant read thermometer to monitor the temperature. You want to cook the sugar until it reaches 250 degrees F (firm ball consistency, meaning if cooled, the sugar would form a firm, pliable ball).
- In the meantime, pour the egg yolks into a stand mixer and beat on medium-high. The yolks should increase in volume slightly and turn a pale yellow. When the sugar reaches 250 degrees F, quickly remove from the stove, and carefully pour the molten sugar into the mixer with the egg yolks. You may want to lower the speed to prevent splattering, but return the mixer to high speed (to prevent curdling the yolks) once all the sugar is added.
- Allow the sugar-yolk mixture to beat on high until the outside of the mixing bowl is at room temperature. The pâte à bombe should be doubled in volume and a fluffy texture without lumps.
